The Ladies Man

"I'm afraid of getting hurt, okay? Before he met my step-mother, I saw it. I saw the pain on my father's face every time a she-cat walked out because he's not good enough. And I don't want that, that's what i'm trying to avoid."

PersonalityFlirty | Playful | Competitive | Brave | Daring | Smooth | Caring | Insecure | Loving | Easily amused | Easily intrigued | Determined | Loyal | Brooding | ThoughtfulHunter, at first glance, can come off flirty and competitive. This Tom loves to prove himself to anybody he can, loves showing off to the best of his ability. He's playful and teasing, and can come off sort of cold and uncaring to some cats. His smooth nature makes him into a "ladies man". He wears a mask - A tough bravado, a brave front. And alot of cats fall for it.

But on the inside, Hunter is insecure. Quite insecure. Because of his half-Clan origins, he is often teased and taunted, even referring to himself as "half-Clan scum" at times. This Hunter is fragile under his mask, but it takes alot to get him to break. He doesn't like to be alone. Its his biggest fear, being pushed away, because that's what his mother did to him when he was just a kit. So Hunter has some abandonment issues along with some daddy issues. But he's trying to get past this. As well as trying to get past his flirting habits.

Hunter is determined not to become like his father, Ratheart. Not to be chasing around a she-cat every day. Hunter knows where his loyalties lie - With WindClan. Not with a girl. He wants to serve his Clan as much as possible, but he wants to avoid getting hurt as well. He's not sure why he does what he does. Why he flirts. At least he breaks it off before either of them get attached... Most of the time, at least. Hunter is trying to learn to break his old habits and become the warrior his Clan needs him to be.

Hunter is a very thoughtful cat. His thoughts and feelings are something he doesn't like to share with anyone else, because he's afraid of looking vulnerable. So far he's done good convincing others that he's not the brooding, insecure, fragile cat he is on the inside, but many cats, like Springwind know how to break through his carefully-built walls. Hunter tries to avoid attachments to avoid the hurt, but sometimes there's not much he can do about the only father-figure in his life. Sometimes you need to let someone in, and for Hunter, that someone is Springwind.

Hunter doesn't believe in love. Well, no, he believes in it, but he doesn't believe he'll find it again, not after the one she-cat he ever did love slipped out of his paws. Hunter gave up then, deciding to build his walls and guard his heart. And that's what he does now. Beyond this, Hunter wants to believe he's a good cat deep down, someone who can provide for WindClan. And he's going to search until he reaches his full potential, no matter how long it takes.
